picking up where i left off

Ever have that feeling…

…where no matter what happens, you overlook the bad and appreciate the good?

I’ve been feeling that way lately. Either its a positive outlook on life, or plainly, God just helping me feel good.

So much has happened in the past month. So much sadness, so many unlucky moments. Any normal person could have broken down from it all. Granted, I was emotionally tired too, but I wasn’t knocked down completely.

There were glimpses of hope, moments of fun that will be cherished, and even blessings that came amidst the dark and trying times. I chose to dwell on those. Though sometimes they are few and far between, He manages to lift your spirits when you’re on the brink of loosing it.

I don’t like to dwell on the bleak, gloomy days. Why do that? You suck it up, take it, and move on. Focus on the little wins and accomplishments of the day.

And really, after ALL the gloominess life brought this past month, He saved a GREAT blessing for me to lift me up.

After all the hard work and sacrifices my family and I made for me to finish my degree, I FINALLY got a PERMANENT position at the company I work for now. Its what I worked for…all those sleepless college nights…all those looooooong lab reports…all the studying…all the midnight shifts…hoping and praying for a job, any job.

Here’s the lesson kids: Your hard work WILL pay off one day. I promise. All the #teamnosleep days will ALL be worth it in the end.
